How to Install IPTV on Roku With a Simple Trick
This tutorial provides step-by-step instructions to install IPTV on Roku. Using a Roku device, we must “sideload” IPTV on the Roku device. The instructions below will require the use of a computer in order to download the IPTV app file and add it to your Roku streaming device.
If you are using another IPTV player such as TiviMate, you can also watch IPTV on Roku by casting to your Roku device. IPTV Smarters is one of the best IPTV Players, compatible with hundreds of IPTV services that use a server URL.
Anyways, let’s get into how to install IPTV on Roku. I divided the instructions into four parts to make them easier to follow:
- Part 1: Enabling developer options on Roku
- Part 2: Adding the IPTV Smarters channel
- Part 3: Downloading the IPTV Smarters package on your computer
- Part 4: Installing IPTV Smarters on Roku
Don’t worry, the process is easier than it sounds. Let’s begin.
